England Skicross: Europa cup...

So i left you last time just before the race in Le Sauze. Well that was interesting to say the least!

The first race didnt go as well i has planned but still wasnt the worst. I came 52 out of a very hard field which was suprising as i made a few mistakes.
The second race i managed to take 3 seconds off my time but as most people had run the course a fair few times, it seemed everyone was faster and racing quicker. In training i fell pretty badly, knocking myself out and taking my confidence with it. I got up and got ready to race. Unfortunately my confidence was shot and this showed in my run, making silly mistakes and being wary through every turn. I got to the bottom and knew i could have skied faster. This time i came 56th which was fairly disapointing.
From Le Sauze we traveled to Les Houches to drop off England Skicross Team mate Max Hardy at the British Ski Academy and continued our journey to Niderau, Austria.

In a few days we will be traveling back to Lienz, Austria to train before the next race in Davos. We will be training some hard GS and Super G and will also be working on air position. Hopefully this will give me the confidence and Technique i will need to race well in Davos. After Davos i will be getting back in the van and departing the alps for a few days whilst thousands of tourist descend on the ski resorts around europe.
On the 24th ill be heading back out to meet the Jack Wills boys for two days of fun before the two week intensive training I have before the race in Sierra Nevada.

Here are some pictures from the last two weeks...
